They do for me. Try checking your preferences.

Try to unsubscribe from the section and resubscribe. They're working perfectly fine for me.
Otherwise, maybe try: https://forums.bulbagarden.net/index.php?forums/-/mark-read&date=1549313156

Q: Where is the search button!?
A: Due to some technical limitations we had trouble installing the search add-on. Therefore we have disabled it until ready so the forums wouldn't have to stay closed for any longer. We're working to add this feature back ASAP within the coming few days.

I don't see this in the to do list, is this still coming in the "coming few days"?

This is not something we control as it's on a server-level problem.
Buuut...

So soon :')

 

[SoaringDylan]

I have worked through the current to-do list with any problems that do not require a specific add-on or javascript to function.

Since these require a bit more time to be implemented / investigated they may stay there for a few weeks while we're working on some higher priority issues.

Thanks everyone for helping out and reporting any problems they've found with the update! It's been great help from you guys
As always, if you find any more issues just report them and I'll look into fixing them.

I disabled showing of my online status, and I can see the green dot indicating 'Online' on my avi on my posts. Is it what’s supposed to happen? Or is my status being shown in spite of me disabling it?

You can always see your own status, other users can't.

For some reason the post information about each post has moved to a weird place.

Spoiler

Is there a way to fix that?

It seems the authors of Flat Awesome+ (the style parent we use) decided to change the mobile version to more represent the PC version.
So this is as intended, I personally don't think it looks that weird now vs then?

OK. But the border separating it from the post is getting in the way. Is there a way for you to remove it?

What do you mean with getting in the way?

Spoiler

The border is seperating it and not blocking out anything?

Minor thing, but the thread navigation bar is too big now:

It looked better before

It stretches to fit the full width (if you check on a page that both has prev & next page you see the different stretches).
If you disagree, feel free to post about it over in this thread: Style Thread (New Bulbagarden Default!)
And ask noworry on her thoughts. She's the artist here, I just make the things works

What was that update done just now? What was updated?

It was a minor behind-the-scenes forum software update & Flat Awesome+ update.

 

[Isaac the Investigator]

For some reason, the preview and post reply buttons on mobile have been switched, and it's totally disorienteering me. Can you please fix that?

You could've at least given us a warning...

The only one that is able to update the back-end is our webmaster Archaic. He's a very busy man and we got lucky with him having some time last night to update. We can't always announce when we are going down when an opportuniy announces itself, especially for smaller updates. Sorry for any inconvenience regardless.

Well, I find it uglier now. Smaller buttons were more visually appealing, but I’m not be art leader around here. ;p

Do you know when unread alerts will be given priority in the notification box again? And maybe not lose unread status by opening the box, if at all possible?
